SM Prashant — Co-Founder

I am a political and aviation journalist and the founder of AviationPana, Zen1News, Mithilavani and Axo Group. My work examines how power, policy and aviation shape national outcomes in Nepal and across South Asia. AviationPana provides aviation-sector reporting that supports transparency, regulatory awareness and accountability. Zen1News covers travel, technology, mobility and public policy through fact-based, evidence-informed journalism. Mithilavani strengthens Maithili-language journalism by building a national-scale digital news platform. Axo Group operates in clothing, hospitality and manufacturing with a focus on building durable Nepali brands. Across these platforms, my work centres on public-interest reporting, institutional understanding and clear explanations of how decisions in aviation, politics and policy influence people, markets and cross-border cooperation. I collaborate with institutions, policymakers, media organisations and international bodies on reporting, research projects, public communication, aviation insight, consulting, documentary projects and speaking engagements focused on Nepal and South Asia. Organisations working in media, aviation, policy, governance, research or regional affairs are welcome to connect for credible information exchange and collaborative work.
